U.S. women win silver in team gymnastics

BEIJING - China won its first Olympic gold medal in women’s gymnastics today, taking the most important title in its rivalry with the Americans.

China finished with 188.9 points in the women’s team final, more than two points ahead of the Americans, who came in as world champions and with the sport’s two best gymnasts.

The Americans lost any shot they had with multiple mistakes on their last two events, and had to settle for silver for a second straight Olympics.

Defending champion Romania was third.
